Private Elad Zigler: From Holland to Armored Corps

I'm here because: "I think the army is compulsory (verplicht svh) – not just for every Israeli, but for every Jew too. At the end of the day, we're not just defending the State of Israel, but all Jews." 

'Power to fulfill any goal.' Elad Zigler

Why is the Jewish state unique in your opinion? 

"It's the only place in the entire world where there's a real place for Jews. There are many places you can live in, but only in Israel you can really live the Jewish way, any way you want, without people bothering you." 

Do you view the State's establishment as a real miracle?

"A magnificent miracle. There is no other nation which has returned to the place it came from after 2,000 years. Many have tried to destroy us, and we're still here. It shows God's love for us. Being one nation in a State of our own is a very big achievement." 

Does the State have a religious significance?

"Of course. It's the country we got from God. It's the country where our Temple used to be, where all miracles took place, where everything began, and the state is what makes us a people." 

Being a Jew in Israel is: "Feeling that you belong. Feeling that you're accepted as a Jew. You may be respected abroad, but you'll always be different, even if you don't follow the way of Torah. There, people will never be there for you when you need them. When I wore a skullcap abroad, people thought I was strange and I was sometimes cursed. Here you can express who you are and what you are freely." 

The most Israeli trait: "The power to fulfill any goal – no matter which ideology you believe in. You can see it in soldiers enlisting for combat service, because they believe in the need to fight for the State." 

What would you like to wish the State of Israel?

"Many years of peace and love of fellow man inside the country. An ingathering of the exiles and tolerance even towards those with a different faith."
